Shawdesh Desk:

Another positive case was confirmed in Rajasthan Wednesday, taking the total number of infections reported in the country to 62. The Union Health Ministry, however, puts the figure at 50. The number of cases in the country jumped after positive cases were reported from Karnataka, Kerala, and Maharashtra. As the global death toll from coronavirus topped 4,299 and infected over 1.15 people globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the threat of a pandemic was “very real.”

One patient, who had returned from Dubai on February 28, has tested positive for coronavirus in Rajasthan’s Jaipur. An Italian couple, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, is also admitted in the same hospital.

The government is making efforts to trace their primary and secondary contacts.
